After Disney's casting of Halle Bailey as Ariel in the live action movie of The Little Mermaid, many people on the internet started posting their dream cast for Prince Eric. NCTzens also put forth their idol as their ideal actor for the role.
Wong Kun-Hang, better known by his stage name Hendery, is a member of NCT's Chinese sub-unit "WayV". Born in 1999, he is currently 19 years old and is set to turn 20 this September, making him almost the same age as Halle Bailey, who turned 19 this March.
Fans claim that Hendery is qualified for the role as he is fluent in English and has studied acting. As for the looks, you just have to search him up to see for yourself.
Fans even edited his pictures

As much as I love Jimin, I didn't like when the same post about him was made. This isn't about who is best for the role, this is becoming about fandoms trying to say they have the best looking idol for the role in their group. Not ashamed to admit it, I'm a huge Disney fan and actually care about who they cast.
Disney has very exacting standards for their Princes and Princesses. Being a very handsome guy is one part of it. Being fluent in English is a huge part, along with being a professional actor. I don't know why fandoms are pushing their idols for this. I doubt Disney are out here trying to cast Prince Eric by reading tweets.
